When asked about their rumoured rivalry, Lyngstad said: “A lot has been written about how Agnetha and I fought and quarreled with each other. There is absolutely no truth in that. Of course we competed, but to good effect.”

“No, we didn’t fight. But we have to live (through) a whole lot of such misinterpretations,” said Faltskog, according to the Associated Press.

The pair were part of the group with Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus until 1982. They have sold more than 370 million albums.
